On this episode of Grassroots Grappler Unplugged, Ben Hodgkinson and Nic Barker from Grappling Industries paid us a visit.

Ben and Nic had just wrapped up another successful tournament in Sydney and they stopped by for a quick chat about how they got started in the sport, the birth of Grappling Industries in Oz and the ups and downs that come with running 16 events a year.

Ben also shared some of his training game plan for ADCC. Ben recently won himself an invitation at the Asia & Oceania Trials in Kazakhstan.

This September he’ll be going up against the likes of Gordon Ryan, Romulo Barral and Vinny Magalhaes in the male 99kg division.
